Face it: even “fungus” is a nicer word than “blog.” In fact, if I had the opportunity to rename blogs, I think I would call them fungs. Granted, it’s not exactly a model of mellifluousness either, but at least its auditory connotations tend more toward the sexual than the excretory. “I fung.” “I am a funger.” Such phrases would encounter no obstacle in passing through my lips”

I wonder when “Fung You” t-shirts will show up in the Rough Type Store.
In the meantime, the rest of us “numbskulls” should keep on blogging.
I would love to see a “Fung You” t-shirt – now that’s a crazy idea. But that’s not the point. I want to know why does “blog” sound so foul? Because to me it really doesn’t. And it has no connotation whatsoever. Contrarily to “fungus”.
